May the Force Run With You: Lightsaber Relay Race Planned

Nerds are not normally known for their physical prowess… unless there’s a lightsaber involved.

Lucasfilm Ltd., Nerdist Industries, Octagon and Machinima are taking full advantage of that fact and launching an Olympic-style lightsaber relay in Southern California the week before San Diego Comic Com International in July. Dubbed the “Course of the Force,” the run will begin in Santa Monica on Saturday, July 7, and end in San Diego on July 11.
